Last Thursday night I was home alone because my wife’s band was on the road. I think around 8:30 I read a Stereogum article that stated that Spotify had put up an image, tracklist and album title for a new Kendrick Lamar album. About a half an hour later it was up on iTunes and I was downloading it. I listened to it straight through and then I started over again one it was over. It’s been constant in my headphones since.

These tracks are outtakes from the To Pimp a Butterfly sessions. That album took several years to complete. This doesn’t sound like an album of cast off tracks and B sides however. It feels cohesive, and intimate, and full of notes of jazz and soul. It’s short but sweet. Kendrick is on fire right now. He can do no wrong.

I jumped at the chance to purchase an autographed copy of the new record. If you like hip hop, if you like Kendrick Lamar then this record is for you.

I spend a lot of time thinking about music. I spend a lot of time listening to music. I go to shows in my sparse free time.
I have booked shows, written reviews and I am currently a DJ Assistant at KEXP. Also, I am an all around music and vinyl nerd. My Discogs want list is quite lengthy: https://www.discogs.com/user/JHamilton

Word. I feel like a lot of us jumped on an opportunity for something really rare and now we're scarred it won't be as rare or possibly not even signed. Regardless it's a rad album that I know I'm going to appreciate having but this is certainly getting confusing. I was expecting this to be sold out right away hence my comment at the top.
